Well chief executive Leeann Dempster added: "We are delighted we have managed to recruit both Iain and Paul for next season.

"Obviously this is a summer of change at Fir Park but with that comes a lot of excitement and Iain's signing typifies the calibre of player we are looking to bring in for our European and domestic campaign.

"In partnership with the manager, we are working through a list of targets and we are hoping to announce more new signings soon."
